Kliff Kingsbury kicks off Toys for Tots Texas Tech football coach Kliff Kingsbury kicked off the Toys for Tots drive by donating footballs at noon Wednesday at United Supermarkets.

He participated in the Salvation Army and U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program, which was jumpstarted by United Supermarkets, said Blayne Beal, associate athletic director for communications.

“Coach Kingsbury was honored to kick off the toy drive by donating the first toy to the drive, which he did so by donating some Under Armour footballs,” he said.

The plan to participate in the event has been in place for a couple weeks, and it was a great way to be a part of the community, Beal said.

He said Tech Athletics wants to do anything to give back to the community, and so does Kingsbury, his staff and student-athletes. ➤➤tdorner@dailytoreador.com

Local groups work to end sex trafficking

By CARSON WILSON Staff Writer

A young girl entered Room 50 of the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center in September 2011. She wore a hoodie with sunglasses and hid her face. She said she was 18 years old, but when she spoke the youthful sound of her voice disagreed with her supposed age.

Room 50 of HSC is used only for sexual assault exams. The young girl wanted a Jane Doe exam, a sexual assault exam conducted without involving law enforcement.

She admitted she was involved with a child pornography ring and there was no way out. Her mother had sold her at 6 years old.

When an official stepped out to report her statement, she disappeared.

The nameless girl with the hoodie and sunglasses might have become a mystery, but she helped shed light on domestic minor sex trafficking.

Jerry Springer hosts TV game show in Lubbock

By CHELSEA GRUNDEN Staff Writer

Before the show began, crowds roared in excitement for the upcoming event and its host. Many audience members chanted “Jerry! Jerry!” before he appeared on stage.

“The Price Is Right” live took the stage with host Jerry Springer 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in City Bank Auditorium.

Springer led many contestants throughout their journeys to win prizes as big as a trip to Las Vegas, or a walk off the stage with only a T-shirt.

The announcer asked the audience to stay involved with giving each prize an “ooh” or an “ah” and helping the contestants make their bids.

After Springer opened up to the crowd with a few jokes, the first four contestants were chosen to bid. The winner of the bid went on stage to play the classic game, Cliffhanger, with the chance to win an iMac. The goal of Cliffhanger was to guess the prices of three different items without straying more than $25 from the prices of all three items. After estimating the first price perfectly, the contestant, with help from her mother in the crowd, won the iMac. Throughout the show, several randomly chosen audience members won gift cards to

Subway and Home Depot.

The next contestant to win the bidding, Chelsie McElwee, a junior business major from Lubbock, went on stage to play Hole In One for the chance to win a $1,300 refrigerator. The goal of her game was to organize five grocery items in order from least expensive

to most expensive.

Although the crowd jeered her decisions along the way, McElwee placed all of the items in the correct order and won the fridge.

McElwee said she heard about the event during the football game against Texas Christian University. She said she bought tickets

for the live “The Price Is Right” the morning after the game, and was excited to go to the showing and surprise her grandma with a ticket because they have watched “The Price Is Right” together since she was 4 years old.

flaws, proves Republicans right

Leslie Timmons, community educator/ volunteer coordinator for Lubbock Rape Crisis Center Voice of Hope, said after the incident, the center began to ask questions.

“For one thing, we needed to ask, ‘Is there another problem with domestic minor sex trafficking in our area?’” she said, “and if there is, what are we going to do about it?’”

Stacy Lambright, a sexual assault therapeutic counselor with the Lubbock Rape Crisis Center Voice of Hope, said the center joined together with every kind of law enforcement in Lubbock, from the FBI to the Lubbock Sherriff’s Office, and began talking.

For one year, the group met once every month to share statistics. Eventually, a survey was created to gather information about domestic minor sex trafficking from the community. The results of the survey would explain whether there was a substantial issue in the Lubbock area.

Students gathered to raise awareness for Disability Awareness Week with a studentled panel at noon Wednesday in West Hall.

A four-person student panel answered questions and discussed their experiences dealing with disabilities in college.

Gabriel Edmeier, president of Leadership Education Advancement for Disabilities, said the event was hosted to raise awareness for what students go through and to inform students with disabilities about the help they can receive.

“Just because you cant see a disability doesn’t mean a person doesn’t have one,” he said. “There has always been a bad

stigma and we’re trying to get away from that stigma.”

There are a lot of people with disabilities who have been successful, Edmeier said, many of whom have been CEOs, while others have gone on to Congress.

Scott Mueller, a senior construction engineering major from McKinney, who has dyslexia and is the treasurer for LEAD, said if it wasn’t for Student Disability Services and finding help, he would not be at Texas Tech.

“If it wasn’t for Student Disability Services, I probably wouldn’t be where I’m at right now,” he said. “I probably would have failed out my first year.”

With a graduating class of fewer than 30 people, attending a large university may seem intimidating.

Students from small towns sometimes must make transitions to adjust to Texas Tech.

Kristen Jenkins, a sophomore accounting major from Turkey, Texas, said she graduated from Valley High School with a class of 28 people.

She said at first it was weird to have classes with about 300 students, but she had prepared herself for how much bigger it was going to be.

“Don’t be intimidated,” Jenkins said. “You find your group. You make your own friends, and it’s really not that bad.”

FAX: 806-742-2434

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Jenkins’ hometown of Turkey, Texas, has a population of 415.

According to the Tech Center for Campus Life website, class sizes at Tech can range up to 400 students.

Jenkins said some of her classes were about as big as her entire town.

“I’m definitely proud that I’m from a small town,” Jenkins said. “It kind of makes you stand out.”

Kendall Hamill, a sophomore construction engineering major from Follett, said going from a graduating class of 10 people to a university of 33,000 students was a big difference to adjust to.

NEWS 2 OCT. 31, 2013 HSC renames breast care center Trafficking↵

By JOSE SOSA Staff Writer

After a donation from the Garbar Family Foundation, Texas Tech Health Sciences Center at El Paso Paul L. Foster School of Medicine has renamed its breast care center the Sadie and Annabelle Garbar Breast Care Center.

Harry Garbar and the Gabrar Family Foundation made the donation in honor of his mother Sadie and sister Annabelle who both battled cancer, according to a news release.

Ed Soto, director of the Garbar Family Foundation said in the release Harry Garbar did this not only to honor the women in his life, but also to make sure no one is turned down from receiving help.

Dr. Edward Saltzstein, a professor of surgery, started the breast care center in 1994 and said he believes that during the past 20 years the center has benefited more than 60,000 patients with at least 33 percent of the patients belonging to the El Paso community, according to the HSC website.

“We are so grateful to the Garbar family’s gift to the center,” Saltzstein said. “It will ensure the community continues to receive care.”

Dr. Jose Manuel de la Rosa, dean of the Paul L. Foster School of Medicine, said as part of celebrating its 20th anniversary and its recent accreditation by

the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, the center would be further expanding its treatment and prevention program.

The center struggled with funding for the past 20 years, de la Rosa said, but now with the donation given by the Garbar Family Foundation it will continue with its mission to care for anyone, regardless of their ability to pay.

The breast care center uses state-ofthe-art technology to provide services such as imaging, surgical care, radiation and rehabilitation.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, regardless of age of ethnicity. More than 205,000 women and 2,000 men in the U.S. were diagnosed with cancer in its most recent count in 2010. Those cases resulted in more than 40,000 deaths in women and 439 deaths in men.

There are multiple cancer organizations, such as the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, that try to create awareness about the problem that affects so many people. According to its website, the foundations fund more than 200 researchers in 12 countries and more than 91 percent of their funds are directed toward research and awareness programs.

Medical professionals to teachers were presented with the survey and asked questions.

After 26 days the survey ended, and the results supported the concerns of the group.

After the survey justified the group’s concerns, plans to fight domestic minor sex trafficking began to take shape.

In the U.S., 100,000 children are in danger of being sex trafficked, Timmons said. There are only 1,000 beds provided to house victims.

There is not a facility in West Texas that exists to provide the attention victims need.

“They need very specific needs,” she said. “They need medical attention, very intensive counseling, life skills and education. They need so much, and there’s just not anything in our area to deal with this.”

Some victims are charged with a crime and put into detention centers to escape traffickers.

Activists want to change this and put an end to sex trafficking minors.

The Ending Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking Project is a fundraising campaign, which began this year. The funds raised will be used for a Regional Resource Center, which will provide educational training and child victim assistance in West Texas and New Mexico, according to Voice of Hope’s website. Eventually, a Therapeutic Residential Safe House for victims of sex trafficking will be opened.

Until then, raising awareness will be the biggest weapon used in fighting this battle.

“The more people that know about it and recognize it for what it is, we can really send a message to the traffickers and pimps that this is not going to happen in our community,” Timmons said.

“We’re not going to stand for it.”

The average age of a child brought into sex trafficking is 12 years old. These victims experience starvation, threats and abuse. Minors are sold and often are required to perform anywhere from 10 to 25 sexual acts a day.

Tattoos are used to brand certain victims to certain pimps, and social media is the key tool in placing a sexual order.

Lambright said one word for the type of abuse victims go through is trauma.

Gangs, pimps and families are the three types of traffickers. Lambright said families and pimp control are the most common.

“It’s a subculture,” she said.

“They have their own language, they have this underground thing, but it goes on amongst us.”

Usually the victims are brought in at a vulnerable age, Timmons said. Victims’ vulnerability to traffickers’ tactics leads to loyalty to the traffickers, which is why most do not break away.

“The world views a girl who kept going back, who didn’t run every chance she got, and doesn’t understand things like Stockholm syndrome or trauma bonding or things like that,” Lambright said.

Both Lambright and Timmons took a step toward educating the public when they visited HSC Wednesday.

More than 50 audience members gathered to learn the dangers of domestic minor sex trafficking and how to spot typical tactics used by traffickers in the South Plains.

The lecture is part of a lecture series about issues related to global health hosted by the HSC Office of Global Health.

Gabrielle Brown, a first-year medical student from Lubbock, was surprised by the lecture.

“I didn’t realize it was as a big deal in Lubbock,” Brown said. “It kind of shocked me it was here in Lubbock because Lubbock has a reputation for being a conservative city.”

RHA offers Safe Treat for area children

By NIKKI CULVER Staff Writer

An average of almost 30 pedestrians are killed each year during Halloween night as a result of traffic accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration records. The Texas Tech Residence Halls Association provided a safer alternative to the traditional door-to-door trick-ortreating experience Wednesday night.

Safe Treat was hosted by RHA and the complex councils. The event was hosted from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and local families were invited to walk through each residence hall on campus. Each residence hall provided its own Halloweenthemed activities, as well as a trick-or-treating tour through the residence halls.

The association also sponsored free public transportation during

the event for families and children to get around campus, which was called the Boo bus.

“Safe Treat is meant to provide children with a fun and safe trickor-treat opportunity,” Courtney Phan, a sophomore music performance major from Spring, said. “All the halls have different games and trick-or-treating for the kids.”

Last year’s Safe Treat event hosted an estimated 2,100 attendees and this year, the association expected the number of participants to grow, Phan, an executive member of RHA, said.

Costumes spotted included minions from the children’s movie “Despicable Me,” fairies, princesses, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and all sorts of different superheroes.

Josie Landeros, a former Tech residence hall custodian, said she brought her two granddaughters for a night of safe, indoor trick-ortreating.

“I’m bringing my granddaughters here because I know it’s safe,” she said. “I know that they’ll take good care of us here.”

The Wall/Gates Residence Complex had activities, such as bowling, “wrap the mummy,” and a baseball toss. Costumed event attendees also were given the opportunity to take their picture in a stock. RHA members led groups through the residence halls on trick-or-treating adventures, where the fairies, witches, ninjas and even a little Raider Red were able to collect candy provided by the association.

Rachel Rodriguez, senior associative vice president of enrollment management, also brought her children to the trick-or-treating event.

“We’re just trick-or-treating with the kids,” she said. “I wanted a safe place to go and not be out in the elements. It’s so hard to go door to door with all the people that you

Students, faculty, staff recall childhood Halloween traditions

By LIANA SOLIS Staff Writer

The streets filled with children dressed as their favorite fictional characters, the smell of pumpkins seeds roasting in the oven and “Hocus Pocus” playing on the television screen.

Different people celebrate Halloween differently across the world and remember different traditions growing up.

Emily Woods, a sophomore education major from Friendswood, grew up in Alaska and said she celebrated Halloween there every year until she moved in middle school.

Woods said she went trick-or-treating every year with her family, despite the cold weather.

“We of course had to bundle up and couldn’t wear costumes that would make us freeze,” she said. “But everyone who lives there is accustomed to the weather,

so it wasn’t too bad.”

Pumpkin carving is a tradition in many families in America the week and day of Halloween.

Woods said she remembers carving pumpkins and roasting the seeds with her family every year.

“We would put the pumpkins out on our front porch every year,” she said, “but we would forget about them until, like, April. They would be all gross and everything because of the weather, but it gave us a nice laugh.”

Thinking as a child, the most exciting thought on Halloween night is the massive amounts of free candy.

Woods said every year after she and her friends finished trick-or-treating, they would go to one of their houses and trade candy.

“We would dump all our candy out and decide what we wanted to trade for different things,” she said. “As a child,

nothing is more exciting than getting a lot of candy.”

Although it is a tradition for many children to go trick-or-treating, not everyone does.

Lia McInerney, a junior English major from Lubbock, said she doesn’t remember going trick-or-treating much as a child.

McInerney said she went to her grandparents’ house every year and celebrated Halloween with them and her uncle.

“My uncle would hand out candy to all the kids that came to the house,” she said. “But he would always save a stash of it for me, which was fine by me.”

Besides trick-or-treating and carving pumpkins, there are many other Halloween traditions that differ in families.

McInerney remembers watching Halloween movies every year with her grandparents as her tradition.

“We would just put on all the Halloween movies that are the must-watch

movies around Halloween time,” she said.

“I didn’t like to go out much anyways, even as a child. So it was a nice, relaxing Halloween tradition for me every year.”

Because of the difference in decades, students and faculty remember celebrating Halloween differently as a child.

Russell Plowman, an instructor of garden center and nursery management, was a child celebrating Halloween during the 1960s.

Plowman said he remembers trickor-treating when the razor blade scares were occurring.

“At the time, people were trying to make their own popcorn balls and homemade treats to give out to kids,” he said. “Then the whole razor blade scandals started happening and everyone went to individually wrapped candies, which is more what it is today. Those scandals changed everything.”

Dressing up to go trick-or-treating also

Exorcism of 1949 continues to fascinate St. Louis ST. LOUIS (AP) — Saint Louis University junior Zach GrummerStrawn has never seen “The Exorcist,” the 1973 horror film considered one of the finest examples of unadulterated cinematic terror. He’s only vaguely familiar with the monthlong 1949 demon-purging ritual at his school that inspired William Peter Blatty’s novel and later the movie.

But just in time for Halloween, Jesuit scholars have joined a whole new generation of horror buffs in St. Louis to recount the supernatural incident.

The university hosted a panel discussion Tuesday on the exorcism, which involved the treatment of an unidentified suburban Washington, D.C., boy.

About 500 people crammed into Pius XII Library, with some spilling into the library aisles, leaning against pillars or sitting on desks.

“I’d like to believe it’s the real thing,”

said Grummer-Strawn, a theology and sociology student from Atlanta. “But you just can’t know. That’s part of why we’re here. It’s the pursuit of truth. And

it’s such a great story.”

The university scholars and guest speaker Thomas Allen, author of a 1993 account of the events at the school’s for-

mer Alexian Brothers Hospital, emphasized that definitive proof that the boy known only as “Robbie” was possessed by malevolent spirits is unattainable.

was different during the 1960s and 1970s.

Plowman said they made their own costumes rather then buying or renting them like most people do today.

“There were a lot of super heroes, cowboys and Indians, ghosts and other simple costumes like that,” he said. “We didn’t have too many gothic Halloween costumes during that time either, like Dracula or zombies. It just wasn’t popular at that time and I’m sure people would have been frowned upon if they walked around in a devils costume.”

There also were not many school-wide Halloween events, Halloween carnivals, or festivals to attend.

“We just walked around our neighbor-

hoods trick-or-treating because that’s what there was to do,” Plowman said. “Our parents didn’t come with us either, it was just us kids. I don’t know if it was because we were naive or because it was safer back then, but there was just no need to take parents with us.”

As people get older, childhood traditions may fade away, but they are never completely forgotten.

“As I got older, I stopped going trickor-treating of course,” Woods said. “But besides that not a lot has changed. It’s still nice to spend it with my family or, now that I’m in college, with my friends up here.” ➤➤lsolis@dailytoreador.com

Opinions

Obamacare rollout shows flaws, proves Republicans right Andrew Gleinser than $1 billion.

This figure doesn’t include money the government is undoubtedly spending to fix the numerous glitches with the website, which will push the total even higher.

Adding to the government’s problems are a number of reports of citizens either losing their health insurance coverage as a result of the law, or seeing their premiums skyrocket.

An NBC News report noted “50 to 75 percent of the 14 million consumers who buy their insurance individually can expect to receive a ‘cancellation’ letter or the equivalent over the next year because their existing policies don’t meet the standards mandated by the new health care law. One expert predicts that number could reach as high

as 80 percent.”

This comes after countless assertions since 2009 by President Barack Obama that those who like their health insurance coverage can keep it. Before anyone tries to defend Obama by saying he didn’t know it would happen this way, it should be noted that, in fact, he did.

Or at least he should have known.

“The administration knew that more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them,” according to NBC News, and the administration made its promises with that knowledge.

The only logical conclusion is, of course, that the American public was lied to.

In the Obama administration’s defense, lying was neces-

sary to get the bill passed. If Obama sold his health care plan as being one that would cause millions to lose their current insurance coverage, he would have had little support. But he’s Obama and he’s doing what’s best for the people, so we should trust him and give him a pass, right?

W h i t e House press secretary Jay Carney acknowledged Monday that some would lose their current coverage and be forced to pay higher premiums because Obamacare places minimum requirements on health care insurance plans in terms of which services are covered. The plans that do not meet these requirements are the ones taken away from people.

So essentially, Obama’s promise that all Americans could keep their insurance plans only

This is what happens when the government gets involved in something.

“

O

nly a few short weeks ago, Republicans were blasted from all directions for their opposition to Obamacare. They were repeatedly told, “It’s the law,” while being chastised for holding the government hostage in an attempt to defund or delay the law.

Now that the law’s implementation is in progress, there’s only one thing left to say: We told you so.

To this point, Obamacare has been a colossal disaster. Let’s not forget how the Democrats rammed the bloated and porkladen bill through Congress with no bipartisan support and heavy criticism from the American public.

Now the health care exchanges website, which is supposed to be the forum for individuals to receive access to coverage, doesn’t even work.

On top of that, a recent report

by Bloomberg Government analyst Peter Gosselin found that government contracts awarded to 10 companies relating to the Obamacare rollout totaled more

applies to the plans approved by the Obama administration.

The president conveniently left that little caveat out of his sales pitch.

What’s worse, the premiums with Obamacare are so high that those who are losing their current insurance coverage are having sticker shock when examining their options for new coverage.

A Reuters article describes a Washington man who lost his insurance plan and found that with Obamacare, a similar plan would have 150 percent higher premiums than his previous plan.

An Atlantic Wire article interviewed a Florida woman who paid $54 per month for her recently discontinued coverage and now faces a $591 per month premium for new coverage. Even after receiving government subsidies, which the Obama administration promises will offset additional costs, she will still be paying higher premiums than she had previously paid.

“Obamacare’s bevy of mandates, regulations, taxes and fees

drives up the cost of the insurance plans that are offered under the law’s public exchanges,” according to a Forbes article, and “on average, the cheapest plan offered in a given state, under Obamacare, will be 99 percent more expensive for men and 62 percent more expensive for women than the cheapest plan offered under the old system.”

This is what happens when the government gets involved in something. Government is inherently inefficient — it’s in its nature to be wasteful. It’s great for Democrats to tell everyone how caring they are because they want poor people to have health insurance, but math, logic and facts have never been friends to liberals.

Frankly, anyone who still thinks Obamacare is a good policy needs to have their head examined. Good luck with having affordable insurance to help pay for that checkup, though.

Students should reconsider Graduates facing empty pockets, broken dreams alcohol consumption rates The Daily Texan (u. Texas)

Statistically speaking, two out of every five college students have gone binge drinking at least once in the last two weeks. This figure, which comes from a 2011 U.S. News and World Report story, may be even higher at UT. And this year, once again, UT made the top 20 in the Princeton Review’s list of biggest party schools. Regardless of the numbers, if you’re among the proportion of students raising a few glasses too many this weekend, you probably won’t be thinking of the impact that moment may have on your future alcohol habits. But maybe you should.

While many alumni claim to have given up their more irresponsible undergraduate pastimes after entering the workforce, some of the basic attitudes about alcohol never really go away.

The question is whether the views we hold about alcohol in our life past college stem from our culture as a whole or from the culture we create around alcohol while in college.

The Atlantic Magazine recently featured an article titled “Alcohol as Escape from Perfectionism,” by Ann Dowsett Johnston, a Canadian journalist and the author of “Drink: The Intimate Relationship Between Women and Alcohol.” In her article, Johnston discusses the growing phenomenon of alcohol dependence among working mothers as a seemingly innocent way to smooth the transition from the hectic workday to the busy evening at home. But what exactly does this have to do with UT students?

The most notable statistic Johnston cites in her article is from a recent poll done by Netmums, the biggest parenting website in the UK. The social networking site, which has more 1.6 million members, found that 81 percent of people who drank above the UK government’s safe drinking guidelines said they did so “to wind down

from a stressful day.” This statement may be an accurate characterization of our attitudes toward alcohol in the States as well. Binge drinking may stop after graduation, but the motivation behind our drinking habits seems to remain the same: We crave contrast between work and play.

Recent government alumnus Mathew Smith said he has observed this in the working culture in Washington, D.C. Smith graduated in the spring and now works for the federal government. He said that people prone to drinking in college maintain those habits to some degree.

Alcohol almost seems omnipresent in the professional atmosphere, both as a way to socialize and as a coping mechanism. Instead of binge drinking on the weekends, however, he said it is not unusual to know someone whose nightly routine involves cracking open a beer after work.

Julia Chuang, a management information systems major who graduated from UT in May, said people seem to drink a lot less in one sitting than they did in college but in a more casual manner that is perhaps just as widespread. Chuang, who now does data analytics for a large public accounting firm, noted that consumption habits also depend on the company drinking culture.

“People have drinks with their meals, and as an observation, upper management — especially females — like to drink a lot of wine,” Chuang said. “Happy hour is still a social thing, but in terms of drinking after work, it’s more of a stress reliever.”

As Johnston stated in her Atlantic article, “A glass or two seem[s] innocent enough.” However, with the increase in alcohol dependence among working moms and a 25-year high in U.S. drinking rates, according to a Gallup poll conducted in 2010, perhaps we should consider leaving the attitudes we develop toward alcohol during college behind after graduation.

It might be time to redefine our standards of the American Dream.

Right now, things aren’t going too well for the land of opportunity.

For starters, our bureaucracy is still reeling from a nearly three-week shutdown.

Standard & Poor estimates it’ll cost our economy $24 billion, Forbes estimated no loss and the American people don’t have to do much guessing of their own to realize that things are pretty bleak — especially for our nation’s upand-comers.

Careers that pay too little demand experience in internships that don’t pay at all. Adequate federal aid for students is starting to become the stuff of fairytales and folklore.

To t h o s e w h o w e r e l u c k y enough to nab some cash and get that degree, just wait — The Huffington Post reports half of the United States’ college graduates as working jobs that don’t even require a degree.

Basically, things are pretty terrible for people like you and I — those who, more often than not, have a significant chunk of change invested in a degree that’s starting to guarantee us less and less post-gradudation.

To some, dedicating half a decade and a couple hundred thousand just isn’t worth the poor returns a degree promises nowadays, and while that certainly puts a strain on our economy, it’s an increasingly common opinion held by our youth that’s tough to argue against.

Forgoing both education and employment as a result of such hardship, however, isn’t something as easily dismissed.

As reported by The Associated Press, nearly six million Americans between ages 16 and 24 are both unemployed and foregoing higher education.

EDITORIAL BOARD

By AMANDA ALMEDA

Editor-in-Chief Kassidy Ketron editor@dailytoreador.com Managing Editor Paige Skinner managing@dailytoreador.com News Editor Catherine McKee news@dailytoreador.com La Vida Editor Chantal Espinoza features@dailytoreador.com Opinions Editor Andrew Gleinser opinions@dailytoreador.com Sports Editor Michael DuPont II sports@dailytoreador.com

Making up nearly 15 percent of citizens within the age bracket, those who participated in the survey conducted by The Opportunity Nation Coalition seem to be sowing the seeds of future economic dependency on their educated and employed counterparts.

It’s something of a reverse-baby boomer generation — if the 1940s generation provided our nation a boisterous work force, that generation’s antithesis is alive and well right now, setting up our economy for dramatically less activity, stimulation and prosperity.

The study also noted that Houston holds roughly 100,000 unemployed and uneducated youths.

This kind of news, being so complex and multifaceted, can be a little tough to swallow and even more difficult to digest. First and foremost, this trend is rooted in failed political policies and doubt in a shoddy economy.

It’s a trend that both sides of the aisle could — and likely will — twist and ream into a consummate tool used to further their agendas.

There’ll be the discussions of who’s right, who’s wrong, a couple statements released about our immigration policy and a whole lot of politicizing of an issue that can potentially be made into more than that.

Fifteen percent of people having a complete lack of faith in education, employment, devoting their lives to something for the greater good, the worth of work and societal contribution — that isn’t something to be reduced to a percentage and a solemn shake of our proverbial head at the dinner table.

“

It’s nothing shy of a shame when such a significant portion of the U.S. population views a life of federal dependency and pauperism as the safest bet out there.

Fifteen percent is an insanely large number of any population, especially when considering the massive fiscal toll and liability that these 15-percenters are gearing themselves up to be.

Obviously, these people aren’t all neglecting education and employment voluntarily — a significant proportion of that 15 percent would probably love a 401K and some go-to alma mater sweatpants.

Much of this is because of poor socioeconomic circumstances and a glaring lack of resources in these youth’s communities.

“Their destiny is too often determined by their ZIP code,” s a i d Ye a r U p employee Charlie Mangiardi.

“We have the supply. We don’t have a lack of young people who need this opportunity.”

In a preemptive strike against factors inhibiting this 15 percent, President and Chancellor Renu Khator expressed the need to provide more attention to the overlooked at this year’s Fall Address.

“We are on the top list of global universities … But our challenge is not about the graduates,” Khator said. “It’s about the one who is left behind, who drops out and who quits.”

Students at UH are recognizably diverse; both ethnically and economically, our population is made up of those who assume roles far past that of the average student.

Taking into account the trend of this 15 percent, it only seems fitting to wonder what differentiates

Careers that pay too little demand experience in internships that don’t pay at all.

these youths from the average UH student — ones who face similar trials and tribulations, yet come out the other side with the desire to remain in school.

“I’ve spent so much money in loans so far while I’ve been in school. It would be a waste for me to drop out now and not get a degree,” said civil engineering sophomore Daniella Linas.

“There’d be no point — now that I’m here, I need to stay in school so I’ll be able to get a job that pays off those loans.”

Other students echoed similar sentiments — education itself wasn’t the driving force. Rather, education was seen as a means to an end, whether that end is paying off student loans or keeping yourself in the good graces of your parents.

“In the Indian culture, your parents have a huge say on what you go to school for,” said biology sophomore Christa George. “Dropping out isn’t an option. It’s just not something that’s discussed.”

As a whole, America seems to have become second-rate in business, technology, education and more. China seems to be outsmarting us at every economic and innovative turn. Our workplace morale is at an all-time low — a Gallup poll reported 70 percent of Americans having an overall negative opinion on their jobs.

And now, 15 percent of 16- to 24-year-olds are without an education, a job and a foreseeable future.

Efforts like Khator’s, The Opportunity Nation and Year Up’s are being made around the nation in an effort to counteract some of the many hardships that we face today.

It’ll be a test of these resources — and the willpower of those facing these hardships — to see whether they’ll be enough to combat the adversity that’s plaguing youth today.

We’ll know whether they worked within the decade; if they don’t, the ramifications will last far beyond that.

Celebrity-store partnerships run risks

@DailyToreador:

NEW YORK (AP) — When big-name celebrities pair up with big businesses, customers often believe the adage: You are the company you keep.

Rap artist Jay-Z is learning that firsthand. He has complained this week that he’s been unfairly “demonized” because he hasn’t backed out of his collaboration with Barneys New York after the luxury retailer was accused of racially profiling two black customers.

Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, has said he’s waiting to hear all the facts.

Meanwhile, Barneys said on Tuesday that its initial investigation showed no employees were at fault in the two incidents in which customers complained that they were detained by police after making expensive purchases. The New York Police Department disputes the store’s account and said they were alerted by Barneys.

The controversy illustrates the problems that can arise when celebrities and companies team up.

The deals are lucrative: Companies like having big names on their roster and celebrities are always looking to expand their brand. Revenue in North America from celebrity merchandise lines, excluding products linked to athletes, reached $7.8 billion last year, according to figures available from trade publication Licensing Letter.

But when either side is accused of wrongdoing, the negative publicity can cause damage to the partner’s reputation.

“It literally shows you how vulnerable the celebrity business is on both sides of the equation,”

Horror movies add fun touch to celebrations Staff Writer

Trick-or-treating, costumes and mountains of candy are some of the many things students think of when it comes time to celebrate Halloween.

Another large component of the Halloween celebrations has become gathering a group of friends and popping some corn to sit down in the dark and enjoy a horror movie.

David Glascock, a freshman electronic media and communications major from Midland, said his favorite Halloween movie is the original “Halloween.”

What makes the antagonist from the “Halloween” movies, Michael Myers, so scary, he said, is how he always has that mask on.

“He doesn’t show any expression,” Glascock said. “And he walks, he never chases you. He just walks and yet he always catches you.”

He said the movie is good, scary, old and just a classic.

Isaac Doyle, a freshman psychology major from Andrews, said his favorite horror movie is “Jeepers Creepers.”

“It was really one of the first scary movies I ever saw,” he said.

Doyle originally watched the movie when he was 10 years old and said his initial reaction to the movie was a lot of hiding behind blankets and his parents.

What makes “Jeepers Creepers” so scary, he said, was the thought of the characters getting caught.

“The ‘Jeepers Creepers’ doesn’t get the characters until like halfway through the movie,” Doyle said, “and so they’re finding out all these things about him. The suspense of them getting caught was what was scary.”

Since then, he said, “Insidious” was another horror movie he enjoyed.

To make a scary movie a good one, Doyle said the movie must have a good storyline.

“There has to be a lot of suspense

to keep your heart rate up,” he said, Scanlon said.

In addition to losing TV shows and book deals, Deen lost valuable partnerships when Target and other retailers said they’d no longer sell her products.

Until now, Michael Stone, CEO of brand licensing agency Beanstalk, says it’s been the norm for personalities to have moral clauses in contracts that let merchants back out.

But Stone, who has reviewed 100 celebrity contracts, says he hasn’t seen it the other way.

For Jay-Z’s part, it’s not clear what he’ll do as he faces pressure from an online petition and Twitter messages from fans.

Barneys is expected to start selling items next month by top designers, inspired by Jay-Z, with some of the proceeds going to his charity. Jay-Z is also working with the store to create its artistic holiday window display.

More often, it’s the celebrities — not the stores — who are accused of bad behavior.

Late last year, for instance, Macy’s was pressured by some customers to dump real estate mogul Donald Trump’s line of $65 power ties after the billionaire verbally attacked President Barack Obama on social media following his reelection. One customer collected close to 700,000 signatures on a petition website signon.org. Macy’s stood by Trump.

Another example: home maven Martha Stewart. After being convicted on federal criminal charges of lying to prosecutors about a stock sale, she served a five-month prison sentence that ended in 2005. Kmart, which sold her towels and kitchen accessories until 2009, continued to carry her line.

Cowboys in search of balance against Tech Staff Writer

Going into its game against Iowa State last weekend, Oklahoma State junior running back Desmond Roland’s season high in rushing yards was 46 in the game against West Virginia.

Against the Cyclones, however, Roland rushed for 219 yards on 26 carries, including a long carry of 58 yards. The performance earned him the title of Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week.

Oklahoma State running backs coach Jemal Singleton said Roland showed signs of his ability early in the year, but going into the game, he had no idea Roland would perform so well.

“I was a little surprised,” Singleton said. “Not so much with how he ran or how physically he played, but if you asked me if he was going to run 200 yards I don’t think I would have taken that bet. He did some things that, seeing his body of work this year, he showed some glimpses of doing.

“They played well. There were a lot of good things and a lot of firsts that happened,” Spencer said. “I’m not sure I’ve ever been involved in a game where our defense scored twice. There were three drives where we had some assignment miscues defending the option, and we had to adjust at halftime. Overall, it was good.”

The Cowboys and Red Raiders face off at 6 p.m. Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Tech’s game against Oklahoma State has officially sold out, according to a tweet from Blayne Beal, associate athletics director for communications.

Oklahoma State senior wide receiver Charlie Moore said the team is excited for the atmosphere of a night game at the stadium.

“We’ve always played them in the daytime, but you watch games at night there and know how crazy it gets in Lubbock,” Moore said. “I saw where Kingsbury tweeted (Sunday) to all the fans that costumes are encouraged and a ‘Let’s get weird’ hashtag, so it’s going to be a fun time in Lubbock and I’m excited.”

Tech cross-country teams eyeing Big 12 Conference Championships

By SCOTT FISHER Staff Writer

The Texas Tech Men’s and Women’s Cross-Country teams will travel to Waco this weekend to compete in the Big 12 Conference Championships.

Tech is coming off the NCAA Pre-Nationals in Terre Haute, Ind., in which the men finished 22nd and the women finished 10th.

Tech senior runner Kennedy Kithuka remains unbeaten on the men’s side following a first-place finish at the NCAA Pre-Nationals, increasing his streak to 12 consecutive first-place titles dating back to 2012.

Kithuka said he is ready to run for the Big 12 Championship and has been practicing accordingly.

“When I go to Baylor, I know I’m going to run my best there,” he said.

“I’m going to represent Texas Tech well, my teammates, too. I know

treats running.

“You see running has taught me a lot of things. When I am running with a coach, training, I have to keep my times in running,” Kithuka said, “so when I go back to class I use the same tactics there, I want to keep up with my teachers, I need to make sure I study hard and make good grades, I compare running and academics because I think they are very similar.”

On the women’s side, newcomer Sharlene Nickle has paced the team in each of the previous three meets.

Nickle previously competed solely with the track and field program, but said she is grateful for the experience to run for the crosscountry team.

“I’ve been improving a lot, I’ve been seeing my true talent come out at this moment, working with coach Murray,” Nickle said. “I’m really happy and grateful for this

we are going to have a good race when we go there, we won’t have any problems, I know we have to adapt to any situation, whether the weather is warm, whether it’s cold, or if the course is tough, we have to be ready for those conditions, and we hope for a good performance this Saturday.”

Four men and four women from the cross-country team were selected to the 2013 Academic All-Big 12 teams.

Tech coach Jon Murray said having eight of his athletes named to these teams is a huge honor for the program and the university.

“It’s all about being a champion in the classroom, out of the classroom, together,” he said. “They take care of their business with their academics and those honors just come.”

Kithuka was named to the second team All-Big 12 Academic team and said he treats academics just like he

Murray said he can tell how much she has improved during this year alone.

“She has become a great leader for this team, her workouts every week have gotten better and better, and her performances are getting better,” Murray said. “She had a great effort at the Pre-National meet, she went out probably a little bit faster than she should have, but just to go where she was at the first half of the race was tremendous growth that she has shown, so if we hold her back just a little bit this week and see if she can finish even stronger. Having one of two all-conference on the women’s side, too, you know would be another great feet.”

Both men’s and women’s teams will run at 10 a.m. Saturday at Cottonwood Golf Course in Waco. ➤➤ecorder@dailytoreador.com

Cougars, Bulls meet in prime time Thursday HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Cougars are starting to turn heads after jumping out to a 6-1 start and remaining undefeated in the American Athletic Conference.

It’s not just the gaudy record that is getting attention as the Cougars prepare for Thursday night’s home game against South Florida.

Houston is playing two true freshmen quarterbacks this season after starter junior David Piland quit football, citing concerns about a concussion he received in the second game this season.

John O’Korn has been the starter ever since, though Greg Ward Jr. has come in to run the Cougars’ wildcat formation.

Houston coach Tony Levine said both O’Korn and Ward have done a great job running the offense.

“I’ve said this a number of times that they’re not getting better on a weekly basis, they’re getting better on a daily basis,” Levine said. “When you talk about statistics, he’s thrown for this many touchdowns, certainly we do some things different offensively than other programs, some may huddle, some may run the ball more, but I like their development at this stage.”
